Why attend?

There has been little planned or commissioned growth of local community-based supported housing for people with eligible health and care needs over the last 7-8 years which has resulted in an undersupply in Bath & North East Somerset. As a result, we have an increasing reliance on residential care and out of area placements to meet people's statutory eligible care and support needs. The lack of suitable housing, (including supported living), has been identified as a particular barrier to meeting our aspirations and strategic direction that home is best. Therefore we are keen to engage with providers to jointly explore the challenges, possible solutions and opportunities for working together to address identified gaps.

Our high level aims include:

We hope you can join us. To register for the event on 08/12/22 please email Specialist_Commissioning@BATHNES.GOV.UK by 5pm on 01/12/22. Please specify the email addresses of those to be sent invites.

As this is an MS Teams event representation will be limited to two people per organisation.

We look forward to meeting you virtually, sharing some current context for B&NES, our strategic approach and exploring future models of housing.
